One Grand Relay Running Adventure

Menu

Congratulations to all of the GTRelay 2016 runners. The weather was on our side and despite a cold night, we enjoyed mild temperatures and perfect running conditions. Below are the results for 2016. If you were held in Victor and did not turn in your purple holding card please email me heather@grandtetonrelay.com so we can adjust your final time.

180 miles can be hard on any team, that’s why we are here to offer you with the convenience of hotel options before or after the big day.

Don’t delay! Make reservations as soon as possible as space is limited.

All we can say is that if you decide running isn’t your game, photography and video could be a good fall back plan. Such amazing shots were taken at this years’ GTRelay, and it was a difficult job to choose winners. Thank you all for posting and sharing your GTRelay 2014 experience with us.

Video Contest Winner: So many videos were posted and entered this year. We have decided to choose two winners this year. One based on artistic and videography talent, and one that really shows the behind the scenes of the GTR experience.

Brent Powell with team Venture 2014 is the winner of the most artistic. Check out his fabulous video that captures the beauty and grandeur of the GTRelay. Venture 2014

Renew Ladies Ultra Team: is the winner of the heart of the relay video. This video truly showcases what it is like to run the GTRelay, and all the fun, crazy, bonding, exhaustion and triumph that goes along with it. Renew Ladies Ultra

Photo Contest Random Drawing: Each individual who uploaded a photo to the GTRelay Facebook page were randomly placed in a drawing. The winner of this drawing is: Jessica Ferreira.

Individual who takes the most amazing shot of their runner with the Tetons in the background: Again, another hard decision.

The winner of this category is: Leslie Mae from team Bear Bait. This photo was beautiful and inspiring and helps us all remember the blessing it is to have our freedom to live free to run through such a gorgeous country.

The Grand Teton Relay and gold sponsor Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center have teamed up to help fight hunger in Eastern Idaho by working with one of Idaho’s most well known organizations, The Idaho Foodbank. The relay, taking place August 15-16th, encourages relay participants as well as those in the community to donate to The Idaho Foodbank.

“As a nonprofit charitable organization, The Idaho Foodbank relies on the support of organizations like Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center and events such as the Grand Teton Relay to help meet the growing need for free emergency food in communities throughout our state. We work hard and efficiently, and with the help of thousands of volunteers, every donation can be stretched to provide three meals for every dollar contributed to the Foodbank,” said Jenifer Johnson, Vice-President of Development at The Idaho Foodbank.

Food and funds are being raised in several ways:

Grand Teton Relay will donate a portion of the 2014 of the proceeds.

Runners are invited to make a cash donation during registration. Runners are also asked to donate canned goods at the starting line in Ashton.

The community is invited to join GTRelay at the starting line with their canned food donations.

All food donations will stay in the local area, being donated to the Ashton food pantry. In 2013 close to 1,000 pounds of food were donated at the starting line of the relay.

“Through the relay, we have come to know the people in Eastern Idaho and have been overwhelmed by their warm welcome and giving spirit. I know that with the community support we can all make a difference and help many hungry families in the local community this fall,” said Ryan Johnson, director and founder of the Grand Teton Relay.

“We believe it’s our responsibility to help Idahoans in need. They are our family, our neighbors and our patients. EIRMC is proud to be part of this effort to raise awareness and food for The Idaho Foodbank,” said Doug Crabtree, CEO of Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.

Race day donations can be brought to the starting line at N Fremont High School in Ashton, ID on August 15th between 8am and noon.

Great job to all the entrants in the video and photo contest this year. Over 300 photos were posted on Facebook, making it a close race.
